Mike Mignola’s iconic comic book property Hellboy will be featured in a new board game from Mantic Games, thanks to a new licensing agreement with Dark Horse Comics. The game will be funded with a Kickstarter campaign in April.

The as-yet-unnamed Hellboy board game will be a co-operative game in which players take on the role of BPRD characters, including Hellboy himself, Abe Sapien, and others. The players must work together to explore locations inspired by the gothic style of Mignola’s work and attempt to recover ancient artifacts and thwart evil-doers. The game will include pre-assembled plastic miniatures, like many other Mantic designs, with sculpts based on Mignola’s distinctive illustrations.

“Mantic is not only a leader in the miniatures board game category, but also have a thorough understanding of Hellboy and BPRD storylines and how to integrate them into a game,” said Dark Horse Comics’ Chief Business Development Officer Nick McWhorter. “We’re confident they can deliver a board game that fans of Hellboy and miniatures games alike can appreciate!”
